This resolution allows robots to use city-owned sidewalks to deliver goods to customers. These robots, already in use in Washington, D.C. and the San Francisco Bay area, deliver meals or other merchandise to someone’s doorstep using video cameras, sensors and a GPS system. Companies that wish to deploy such robots in Austin would coordinate with the city's traffic engineer under this pilot program.

This resolution would allow the task force involved in the search for Austin's next city manager to participate in the interview process with the finalists for the position. It also would signal that the Austin City Council accepts a "profile" created by the task force for the next city manager.

This resolution directs city staff to find at least five city-owned facilities that could be used to house the homeless on a temporary basis. City staff would be required to come back to the council on Aug. 24 with options and cost estimates.
